DIRECTORIES
These
are
two
alternate
printer drivers for serial printers which can be used
with the
Vector 4.
If
you plan
to
use a serial
printer,
it
my
be
worth
your
while
to
explore these in the Vector 4
CP/M
Programmer's Manual.
EDm.COM
This is a
variation
on the resident command DIR.
It
allows for several other
options, including presenting an alphabetized
directory,
displaying ambiguous
file
names
for
several
user areas, displaying the . directory
at
the printer, and
displaying the
attributes
(R/W,
R/O,
et
cetera)
on
the screen. All options
can
be combined in one
command
line.
ERALCOM
This is a variation
on
the resident command ERA.
It
allows for other options
which include erasing all files
on
an individual query
basis
(where
the
screen
prompts
with
a Y-N! for each file before deletion); erasing files from several
user areas (with an ambiguous user
area
statement
if
desired); and erasing files
set
to
$SYS
through the
STAT
command.
SORTDIR.COM
This program
sorts
the
directory
in
alphabetical
order.
Where
the·
EDIR
program simply displays
the
directory
in
alphabetical
order,
the
SORTDIR
program
actually
reorganizes
the entries
on
the directory for all files in
~e
current user area.
NV4.LD2
This is a
list
device
driver
for
a
non-standard·
printer
set
to
operate
as
Printer·2,
through the parallel interface.
SUBMIT.COM
This program allows you
to
create
a
list
or "string" of any commands
that
you
can enter
from
the keyboard, and submit
it
to
the· operating
system
as
if
you
were
entering
each
command.
For
instance,
if you
need
to
run the sarne
utnity
programs in
the
same order every morning, you
can
create
a
SUBMIT
file
using a
text
editor
such
as
Vector Graphic's SCOPE.
Simply
determine
the exact
command
format of all lines in the routine you wish
to
standardize,
enter
all
these
commands .in
the
file
you
are
creating,
give
that
file
an
extension of
.SUB,
and enter the command:
SUB~·
